After resting for a night, they continued to move forward. It was not just a day. They passed through Zitong and then arrived at Fu Pass, which was the Mianyang of the future. Fu Pass was located on the ancient Golden Bull Road opened by the King of Shu, just between Fuleshan, Dayinshan and Furong Creek. The terrain was dangerous and blocked the main road of Sichuan. It was obvious that it was a battleground for military strategists. As the old road of Fujiang River, Furong Creek was wide, green, clear and transparent. The peaks of the two mountains (Fuleshan Mountain and Dayinshan) were reflected. It was known as "Mirror Lake" and was the best place for the ancestors of Fu County to organize the Dragon Boat Festival. It had always been praised as "the distant water country, the white clouds by the hibiscus stream, the painting of thousands of miles of green, the red boat of wine" and so on. Master Zhuge told me that in the 16th year of Jian 'an (211 AD), Liu Zhang accepted the recommendation of Zhang Song and sent Fa Zheng, the commander of the army, as an emissary to Jingzhou to welcome Liu Bei's uncle into Yizhou to attack Zhang Lu. Therefore, Liu Bei's uncle led 20,000 troops from Jiangzhou County to Dianjiang River (in the lower reaches of Jialing River), then to Dianjiang River, then to Fu River, to Sanjiangkou of Fu River, and to Fu County at the beginning of the 17th year of Jian 'an. Liu Zhang led 30,000 infantry and cavalry from Chengdu to Fu County to meet Uncle Liu Bei. Some busybodies called this meeting "Fucheng Meeting". This meeting lasted for more than a hundred days. The farewell banquet was very grand, and it was also in time for the Dragon Boat Festival. Therefore, the county magistrate of Fu County hosted the dragon sacrifice ceremony. The lights in the military tent were hung high, the flags were fluttering, the incense was filled, the drums were loud, the dragon heads were gathered, and the ranks were neat. After that, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei's uncle each led their generals to hold a farewell banquet. After the meeting, they boarded a large dragon boat on the shore to watch the dragon boat race. The five participating dragon boats were marked with red, yellow, blue, purple, and green colors. They were commanded by Liu Zhang's generals, Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, and Fu County Magistrate, and Liu Bei's uncle's generals, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong. There were 12 pairs of rowers on each boat, one helmsman at the stern, and gongs and drums in the middle cabin. The destination was at the mouth of Fuleshan. Soldiers of the two armies and residents of Fu County were mobilized. There were crowds of people on both sides of Furong Creek. The local people threw hundreds of ducks into the stream to cheer up. With the sound of a cannon, the five dragon boats sailed towards the destination like arrows leaving the bow. The sound of gongs and drums was deafening. Zhang Ren and Wei Yan's dragon boats were in the front row, not far from the finish line. It was said that Pang Tong was quick to take a bow and arrow from a soldier and shoot at the ducks in front of Zhang Ren's dragon boat. The oarsmen were shocked and slowed down. Wei Yan overtook them and won the championship. Because of this, Zhang Ren had obtained second place. He also hated Senior Uncle Pang Tong to the point of gnashing his teeth and publicly swearing to take revenge. The day after the farewell banquet in Fu County, Liu Bei's uncle led his army north to Jiameng Pass to attack Zhang Lu. Liu Zhang also returned to Chengdu. I also remember that Mianyang in my previous life was a very important industrial base at that time, with many important enterprises and facilities. However, on May 12th, 2008, an earthquake occurred at 2:28 pm, causing heavy casualties. At that time, the entire country felt the earthquake. At that time, the national leader Hu Wen personally went to the scene to direct the earthquake relief. There were many touching stories. I still remember that in my previous life, I saw the orphans and the strong people in the disaster area crying almost every day. They were working and could not go to the scene personally. They could only donate money and goods. At that time, the people and enterprises of China also burst out with incomparable enthusiasm. A former earthquake orphan donated 100 million yuan at that time. There was also a herbal tea beverage company that donated 100 million yuan at once. It was very touching. Now I'm here in person. At this time, this place is still called Fu Pass. A while ago, Uncle Liu Bei took advantage of Yang Huai and Gao Pei's fake farewell to behead the two of them. Then, he tricked them into opening the gate of Fu Pass and occupied this place without bloodshed, and used it as the base camp for the attack on Chengdu. We didn't rest much here. We only replenished some provisions and continued to move towards Mianzhu.
Master Zhuge was really good at geography. She really didn't know where he got so many things from. He told me that Mianzhu, which we were about to reach, was located in the northwest of the Sichuan Basin and had the reputation of being "the leader of ancient Shu and the important town of Yizhou". Mianzhu was the territory of the Shushan family in ancient times. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was a vassal city of the Cancong Kingdom. Qin belonged to Shu Prefecture and was established in the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (201 B.C.). Because this place is close to the two banks of Mianshui River, there are many bamboos, so it is named Mianzhu. In the fifth year of Zhongping (188 A.D.), Liu Yan took over Yizhou and moved the state administration from Ruicheng to Mianzhu. In 194 A.D., due to the fire in Mianzhu City, Liu Yan moved the state administration to Chengdu. Mianzhu stretched from northwest to southeast. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. It has the characteristics of "six mountains, one river, and three fields". The northwest has high mountains and steep ridges, while the southeast has flat fields and fertile fields. I still remember that in the books of my previous life, it was recorded that this place is 504 to 4406 meters above sea level. Pingwu in the northwest is also the hometown of giant pandas. Mianzhu was a river with abundant water sources. There were many rivers in the territory, mainly Mianyuan River, Shiting River, Sheshui River, Mawei River, Baishui River, Dragon Python River, etc. It was related to its name, Mianshui. The river reaches in the territory are more than 20 miles long, flowing through Lianshan, Shuangquan, Songlin and Sanshui, converging with Shiting River and then exiting to Zhaozhen and entering Tuojiang River. The average width of the river surface is more than 100 feet. There was a poem that said,"The river locks the Double Dragon Terrace, Guan Xiong is waiting for the five horses, Yizhou is like the heart, and this place is a small throat." From Master Zhuge's introduction, I also know that the current Mianzhu City is not located in the position of Mianzhu in later generations, but ten miles west of Lutou Mountain in the territory of Yuanjia Village in Jingyang District of Deyang City in later generations. The "Mianzhu" that is often mentioned now does not refer to Mianzhu County in the plain area, but to Mianzhu Pass (Lutou Mountain), which faces the county across the water and belongs to Mianzhu County. The east foot of Mianzhu County is connected to the Luojiang River and the Wenjiang River. The west foot touches the Mianyuan River (formerly known as Mianyang River) and faces Mianzhu Pass on Lutou Mountain across the water. The Rib River flows to the east and the Mianyuan River flows to the west. The east flows into the Fu River, and the west flows around the plain to form the Tuo River. Along this, the winding mountains flow in different directions due to the rivers on both sides. This is also the boundary between the east and west rivers designated by the imperial court. Its unique location makes it the "gateway" to the north of Shu City. My father and General Huang Zhong are guarding Mianzhu County and Mianzhu Pass to prevent Liu Zhang's army from attacking. At this time, I was also very puzzled. I really didn't know what Uncle Liu Bei was thinking. Now that Ruicheng was in the south of Mianzhu, why did he attack Ruicheng first and then attack Mianzhu?
General Huang Zhong is already waiting for the army at Mianzhu Pass. Under his lead, Uncle Liu Bei will continue to lead the army across Mianzhu Pass and into Mianzhu City. We need to rest here before attacking Chengdu. His father led the officials in the city to stand outside the city to receive Liu Bei's uncle's army. I followed behind Mr. Zhuge and was very close to Uncle Liu Bei. I could see that Uncle Liu Bei was in a good mood. After seeing my father, Uncle Liu Bei jumped down from his horse, and so did we. Liu Bei's uncle waited for his father to finish bowing and laughed,
"Brother Zilong, look who this is.”
He pointed to the side.
His father looked to the side of Liu Bei's uncle and his face revealed a look of joy. I know, he knows that this is my uncle. Originally, my mother was standing beside my uncle. Moreover, my mother looked a little like my uncle. Moreover, the big flag with the word " Ma " at the back was fluttering in the wind. If he doesn't know that this is my uncle, how can he still be my father who is both wise and brave? His father was a well-mannered person. When he saw that it was his uncle, he quickly bowed to him.
"Greetings, big brother."
His uncle also quickly supported his father and looked him up and down. In fact, his father was a few years older than his uncle. However, from their appearances, they both had white horses and silver spears. They looked dignified, tall, and strong. They really did look a little like biological brothers. His father looked younger than his uncle. Uncle looked at my father for a while, then turned to look at my mother. Then, he laughed loudly.
"My sister really has good eyesight. As expected of my good brother-in-law. She's much better than my big brother.”
Liu Bei's uncle was also smiling, but there was something unusual in his eyes. Uncle Liu Bei waved at me again."
"Tong 'er, come over and let your father take a look.”
Actually, I've long wanted to go over. I wanted to throw myself into my father's broad embrace and enjoy myself. I had been separated from my father for more than a year. I really missed him. I often dreamed that he was still teaching me spear techniques. It was just that in front of so many people, I didn't want to reveal too much. Now that Uncle Liu Bei called me and Master Zhuge was pushing me from behind, I quickly ran over to my father. I didn't care about the soil on the ground and knelt down.
"Greetings, father."
I felt my father's trembling hands on mine. With a slight force, I was pulled up. I looked up at my father and saw that there were tears in his eyes. He kept blinking. I knew that he was afraid that tears would fall. I immediately hugged my father as tears flowed down my face. I choked and said,
"Father, I missed you so much."
I was now at my father's chin. He patted my back and said with a smile,
"Tong 'er, you're grown up.”
Liu Bei's uncle, mother, and Master Zhuge laughed as well. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao simply scratched their noses at me. I had no choice but to stop crying and leave my father's embrace.
After this little episode, Uncle Liu Bei led us into the city. The Xiliang soldiers that Uncle had brought with him were all stationed outside Mianzhu City. After all, there were not many houses in the city that could accommodate so many people. Anyway, Uncle had brought along tents and other things, so it was convenient to set up camp. Uncle Liu Bei had also instructed that food and drink would be delivered in a while. The people that Uncle had brought with him began to set up camp.
I followed my father and the others into the city. Not long ago, some blind people came. At this moment, a soldier reported,"
"Reporting to my lord, Liu Zhang's subordinates, Liu Wei and Ma Han, have already fled to the south of Mianzhu City.”
When Uncle Liu Bei heard this, he waved his hands at his uncle.
"Meng Qi, I originally wanted to invite you to drink in the city, but who knew that someone would come and disturb our mood. Zilong."
"I'm here."
"Go and take the heads of these two people.”
"I will follow your orders."
"Meng Qi, let's go to the top of the city wall for a drink and wait for your brother-in-law Zilong's good news.”
